Personal Tax FAQ’s

  • Individuals typically need to file their personal tax returns by April 30th of the following year. However, if you or your spouse or common-law partner is self-employed, the deadline is June 15th. It's important to note that any taxes owed are still due by April 30th. Late-filing penalties and interest may apply. It's essential to file on time to avoid these additional charges.

  • Depending on your sources of income and deductions, you may need different forms to complete your return. Common forms include T4 slips (employment income), T5 slips (investment income), receipts for deductions and other relevant financial records.

  • There are various tax credits available, such as the Basic Personal Amount, the Canada Employment Amount, and credits for education and charitable donations. Understanding which credits apply to your situation can help reduce your overall tax liability.

  • Tax deductions are applied to your total income before your taxable income is calculated, ultimately reducing the portion of your income that is subject to tax. Tax credits are applied after your taxable income has been determined, directly reducing the amount of tax you owe.

  • Individuals may be eligible to claim medical expenses, but there are specific rules regarding eligibility and the types of expenses that can be claimed. Keeping detailed records and receipts is essential. Talk to us to learn more about claiming expenses.

  • You can contribute to both a TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account) and an RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan). Contributions to a TFSA are not tax-deductible, but earnings and withdrawals are tax-free. On the other hand, withdrawals from an RRSP are taxed, but contributions made are tax-deductible, providing immediate tax benefits. There are annual contribution limits to both.

  • The Child Care Expense Deduction is a tax relief measure provided by the Canadian government to assist families with the costs associated with child care. This deduction allows eligible parents or guardians to claim a portion of their child care expenses, reducing their overall taxable income and potentially resulting in lower income taxes owed.

  • If you've sold investments or property, understanding the tax implications of capital gains is crucial. Different rates may apply to different types of capital gains.

  • If you earn income from renting out property, you'll need to report it on your tax return. Understanding the rules regarding rental income and deductions is essential and we can help with that.
